Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM

You have degenerative disc disease with canal stenosis.
This is causing you problem.
Treatment is either physiotherapy or surgical.
Long term prognosis is same in both the modalities.
Other pain relieving procedures are ozone ablation and radiofrequency ablation.
Besides this, you shouldn't lift heavy objects and don't lean forward.
You have to strengthen your back muscles.
If pain is debilitating ,surgery may be last resort.
Get well soon.

Take Care
